  1. POLLS CLOSED

    No they won't. Trust me on this one.
  2. 1959 General Election: Who would you have voted for?

    Na, don't think so. Same reason as we didn't do the U.S. Presidential polls here. Bound to be political in nature, which means it belongs in Chat. Polls are banned in Chat. Ergo, no where to go. Closed, do not retry.
  3. Future elections 2012

    Current politics, like the 2012 election, goes into the Chat Forum. Since polls are not allowed there, this thread is locked. Do NOT post any new ones. They will be locked as long as any of the politicians are actual living beings. 2016 is right around the corner in election terms, that makes...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Americans mainly used the weapon in semi-auto, although the full auto setting was available. Even in full auto, the training for U.S. infantry was to use three-four shot bursts.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Indian troops MAINLY used British kit. This was more a matter of supply lines than anything else. Australian troops were almost 100% U.S. weapons, something that had first developed during the ATL Pacific War when Australian troops were involved in most of the actions across the Central...
  6. WI: Angled decks CVs in WWII?

    They would have very useful, not Earth-shattering, but handy. The ability to conduct all flight operations, both landing and launching, in the same evolution would have been a great help, but if everyone was using it it would mainly even out. One difficulty would have been that the standard...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Americans used something of an M-14 equivalent in 30-06. The British used a different weapon in .280 cal that was closer in concept to a modern battle rifle. The British troops thing they got the better end of the deal. The U.S. forces (and the Commonwealth troops in the U.S. supply system)...
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The vets who were released to the U.S. with the POWs had a significant effect on public opinion when they were interviewed. Those were starting to get a "Well, how bad can the really be?" attitude were shaken out of that perspective very quickly.
  9. pete duel

    What the hell? I don't know how we missed the first of these, but NEVER, literally NEVER, do this again.
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Not really. With Stalin gone and the general collapse there really wasn't time. Now once they started to send "guest workers" to the Reich, the Government was rather selective who they provied the opportunity to see new and exciting lands.
  11. Second Mexican-American War?

    Neither TR nor any other American politician wanted any Mexican Territory. I could perhaps see the U.S. under Teddy deciding that, if a war was underway already that Baja California would provide a nice strategic advantage for the USN, but that is about it. Vera Cruz was taken for purely...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    True, as things turned out IOTL. In the ATL, not so much. The rump USSR has to provide considerable reparations (i.e. tribute) to the Reich. Much of that was in the shape of ore and other resources (including slave labor). In any case, the Balkans were taken by mid 1943.
  13. Royal Navy without the Washington Naval Treaty

    Don't insult people
  14. Es Geloybte Aretz - a Germanwank

    Don't be a twit. That was completely unnecessary.
